When we talk about the stay of people in caves, we mostly mention millennia, so I will also say about this one that people took shelter in it and held holy masses at the end of the last millennium. Yes, it was during the Homeland War.

The cave is really tiny and it doesn't seem to me that more people could have taken shelter in it than in a slightly larger basement, but in those days every shelter was worth its weight in gold. The interior is minimally decorated, as religious aesthetics dictates: a couple of rosaries, a crucifix, a holy picture, a few candles, the Croatian coat of arms and a plastic table and chairs.

When they led me to the cave, they told me: "But, you know, it's very small." That's why it's endearing. If you also know for what purposes the place was used, you should really visit it. There's something in that cave. It's not just a hole in the rock.
